SERVICES

What I create
for you

Whether you arrive with a full design brief or a single image torn from a history book, I translate your vision into garments that perform. Pricing is always project-based — get in touch to discuss yours.

WHO I WORK WITH

Made for the
makers of worlds

I work best with collaborators who care deeply about the visual world they're building — professionals who know that costume is character.

Theatre Groups • Film Productions • Dance Companies • Opera Houses • Costume Designers • Artists & Performers •  Museums • Independent Directors

WHY WORK WITH ME ?

Every project is personally
designed and handcrafted by me.

As an independent costume designer and maker, I guide each project from the first conversation to the final costume. You work directly with the person who listens to your ideas, develops the design, creates the patterns, makes the costume, and completes the final fitting.

This direct collaboration means your vision is never lost between different departments or team members. I take the time to understand your production, your characters, and your creative goals, ensuring that every costume is both beautiful and practical for performance.

Whether I am creating a historical costume, a fantasy character, a theatre production, or a bespoke commission, my focus is always the same: personal communication, expert craftsmanship, and costumes that bring your story to life.

WORKSHOPS

Pass on the
knowledge

I offer hands-on workshops on a variety of sustainability-focused themes within fashion and costume. Each workshop is designed to combine practical skills with conscious making, encouraging participants to explore creative approaches to sustainable design and craftsmanship.

Sessions run from half-day introductions to two-day intensives, available both in Amsterdam at my studio.
